▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

MES1 forms a bullish Class A displacement after sweeping Asian high liquidity at 7433, creating an FVG between 7433.5–7434 inside the 7431.75–7435.5 displacement zone. The swing structure leading into this presents a series of ITH rejections (7425.25, 7429) followed by deeper ITL probes (7422, 7393.5), establishing a lower base before the most recent impulsive leg higher. The MSS at 7435.25 aligns with the displacement top, positioning price just above this manipulation level in off-hours context. Prior session liquidity sweeps (PM low at 7403.75, London high) have already been cleared, leaving Asian high as the operative reference. A student of the methodology would observe how the FVG sits *inside* the displacement rather than below it—a compressed mitigation structure that often precedes either rapid fill or secondary displacement, depending on whether intraday session momentum sustains the bias established across the 15m, 30m, and 60m timeframes.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

━ VWAP━ EMA 20━ EMA 50┄ EMA 200·━ RSI(14)━ MACD━ Signal

Price sits 25 points above VWAP with the EMA stack aligned bullish—20, 50, and 200 in ascending order beneath the close. RSI at 63.43 reflects strong momentum without yet reaching overbought territory. MACD shows the line at 0.63 trading below its signal line at 0.67, with histogram printing negative at –0.04, suggesting momentum is decelerating into this move. Volume at 157 contracts matches the 20-bar average, indicating conviction at this level remains neutral rather than expanding into the firing bar. ATR at 1.51 points reflects low volatility, consistent with this timeframe's baseline. The setup presents a bullish structural posture—price above all major moving averages with RSI in the strong zone—alongside an early warning from MACD's crossunder and histogram contraction. The combination flags a potential pause or retracement before the next directional commitment.
